I successfully proved as a 19yo that an 1800cc Gemini van with 205s on the front and 155 burnout stockies on the back cannot outrun a VS Commodore police car.

We must have all been-there-done-that. I proved that my father's bog standard Morris 1100 was no match for an unmarked Police Special Mini Cooper S. :oops: Lucky for me he put the siren on before it got too serious, I only copped a fine.

I had 6 months loss of licence and a broken rear axle to prove it.

The ratter would have no hope. It has 155's all 'round.

Perhaps a car with 205s all 'round would be OK. It's all in the tyre choices, you see....[/quote]


360 V8 Chrysler by Chrysler can out run a Police car !!! It doesn't work if they know where you work though !!! Only a fine, because they couldn't register my speed !!!!
Young and foolish :- definitely

Oh and it had 275's on the back and 245's on the front, so i guess it wasnt the engine it was the tyres :lol:

That is so funny - it would only be able to chase "other" Marina's on the road - it would not be able to keep up with anything else ;)

Aww I was looking forward to seeing more pictures of Rollie.
It was nice knowing you PomB.
Absolutely priceless, probably no faster than the Prefects or Zephers.
Lmao

Cheers

I imagine that someone in a half-sorted Escort would have been able to out-run constable Marina; looks like they didn't even get the TC sporty version! My Gemini (Bedford Chevanne to you, PomBellett) would have had a real chance!

Notice it's got a really BIG siren, so you can hear it from a l-o-n-g way ahead!
